Oakland Aquaponics

Hey everybody. I wanted to start a thread about Aquaponics in Oakland, CA specifically.

If there are folks that are willing to trade fish, or seeds, or used equipment that would be great.

Anyone interested in rotating aquaponics work parties?

I'd also love to map out a tour of sorts-- if there are more than a couple of us with systems it would be amazing to meet up and visit each other's systems, either all on one weekend day or over the course of a few months we could meet up at one place every two weeks or so.

I realize this may be harder to do with less people and more distance between folks, but we were doing this in Honolulu and it was great!

Sure thing, Michael! I'm working with Nates towers, which right now are the bane of my existence, possibly the worst business decision i've ever made, and are threatening to put me out of business entirely. :) anyone who could solve their fundamental and profound issues would be my new deity.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of those towers in concept, but I've never used one and so have little to say on the matter. I think you are referring to Nate S. of Zip Grow, and Averan is referring to Nate K. of Urban Adamah in Berkeley? (Averan, tell Nate I said Hi)

I can solve your tower issues, but you may not like it. I'm teaching AP 1 and 2 classes at Ouroboros tomorrow and Sunday, 8:30 AM start time both days. No charge, and I'm sure we can teach each other a few things.

I have catfish, koi and silver carp fingerlings and food fish. I am in Old Oakland Farmers market the 1st and 3rd Friday. I have earthen ponds and aquaponic system with 4 - 800 gal. tanks and 4 raft greenhouse.
